The definitions are not mine David. They are the ones which are used in the literature and, as far as I know, widely accepted in the sport. Whether or not you choose to accept them is of course up to you.
A "lurker" was kind enough to email me yesterday's "Wizards National Simulcast Best Bets", which I am told usually costs $15 but was made available for free yesterday at brisnet. His point was that the Wiz had 5 winners out of 13 selections, not bad & worth 100 pts & perhaps a win in the contest, but that the payoffs were so low($3.60, $4, $6.60,etc) that he barely broke even. He also had an 8-5 shot that ran 2nd & a 4-5 shot which ran 3rd, for which he would additional points. Perhaps someone knows him & could extend a personal invitation to enter the contest. After all, yesterday the Wiz was apparently an excellent handicapper as you define it.
